- Wike, has promised logistics support to the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has promised logistics support to the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
This comes days after he made the same promise to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, despite being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Wike had on Friday welcomed Obi to Rivers State for the inauguration of infrastructural projects, during which he made the promise to him.
He said, “They said I said I’m supporting Obi, I have no regret to say: Obi is a former governor, if he is coming to Rivers State to campaign, I will give him logistics support, I will give him security.
“A former governor? Should I say I will not give him vehicles? I will not give him security? I won’t do that; I must give him logistics support.”
“You are a man of integrity, it is unfortunate that we are not in the same party but God will help at the appropriate time. These are the kind of people that should be talking about leadership of the country. I want to tell you that if you are coming for a campaign here, I will give you the logistic support”.
